By Jeff Fox
Missourian staff writer
Columbia Regional Airport will op-erate
in the red in fiscal 1982 and will
continue to do so for years to come,
predicts Airport Manager A. O.
" Pete" Cappadony.
The reason, Cappadony says, is
that Columbia Regional, like most
small airports, doesn't draw enough
passengers to break even or turn a
profit. Consequently, last year the
city budgeted $ 89,500 to make up an
actual loss of $ 68,374. This year, Cap--.
padony says, the airport will spend
its full subsidy.
A passenger boarding a commer-cial
flight out of Columbia helps Co-lumbia
Regional in two ways. First,
he spends money for a ticket, some
of which the airport receives from
the airline as rent. Second, for each
passenger that boards there, the fed-eral
government provides about $ 6
to the airport for capital im-provements.
As fewer flights go through Colum-bia,
Cappadony says, " concessions
don't gross as much and federal aid
drops."
Eight flights daily pass through
Columbia, four each with Air Mid-west
and Ozark Airlines. Those
Sights, Cappadony says, should give
Columbia Regional about 47,000 pas-sengers
this year, up from 44,000
from 1981.
That figure could increase for 1983
if Air Illinois begins service to Co-lumbia.
Roger Street, president of
Air Illinois, and Cappadony both say
there is a good chance the commuter
airline could begin operating in Co-lumbia
as soon as November.
Air Illinois, which now flies 34-- and
44- passen- ger turboprops, plans to
have three flights a day through Co
lumbia. How many seats it can fDl is
unknown. But even a daily load of 12
people per flight would add 13,290
new passengers a year, lifting Co-lumbia
Regional's annual number of
air travelers to almost 60,000.
Cappadony says until the airport
gets 100,000 passengers a year it will
continue to need city funds. But 60,- 0- 00
passengers are better for airport
finances than 47,000, and as the fed-eral
subsidy goes up the need for city
funds goes down.
In addition to new flights and more
passengers, a new airline means
more space rental paid directly to
the airport.
Cappadony says the city gets a
good return on its current $ 89,500
subsidy. The airport, the Federal
Aviation Administration and the
companies operating at the airport
employ some 350 people who earn
more than $ 6,500,000 in salaries an-nually.
Because about 85 percent of
those people live in Columbia, most
of that money flows to the local econ-omy.
Despite the double problem of re-cession
and reduced numbers of air
traffic controllers, Cappadony says
the long- ter- m outlook for the airport
is good.

Landing slot key to adding
Illinois airline to Columbia
By Jeffrey R. Scott
Missoorian staff writer
Air Illinois' continuing attempt to
serve Columbia has stalled because
of high prices and government regu-lation.
Still, some think the regional air-line
could be in Columbia as early as
November.
The Carbondale, ni.- bas- ed carrier,
currently serving 13 Midwestern cit-ies
and 14 airports, has been trying
since December to become the third
airline to provide service between
Columbia andJSt. Louis.
As far as the airline and city offi- -
cials are concerned, all systems are
go.
" Air Illinois has been interested in
coming to Columbia for a long
time," says Alice Mitchell, the com-pany's
vice president for marketing,
" and city officials are most desira-ble
to have us there."
There is one hitch, however.
Final arrangements hinge on the
airline's ability to acquire a landing
slot at St. Louis' Lambert Field, the
destination for planes coming from
Columbia. The airline was vying for
a 3: 40 pjn. landing spot Air Midwest

University
backing off
most job cuts
By Ellen Hosmer
Missourian staff writer
The University administration is
preparing to retreat from plans to
thin its staff and faculty ranks by 350
positions over the next three years.
" Originally there were 150 faculty
and 200 staff positions they esti-mated
would be eliminated," said
Cathy Kernen, acting director of
news services. But that figure wasn't
popular with the Board of Curators,
which last month voiced fear that
planned cuts were excessive.
Ms. Kemen said a report to be sub-mitted
to the curators at their meet-ing
July 29- 3- 0 in St. Louis will call for
elimination of only six positions
mostly staff by the beginning of
the fall term.
The previous target for elimina-tion
by fall was somewhat higher,
Ms. Kernen said, but she was unable
to say precisely what that figure had
been. She said the administration
had expected to eliminate some staff
this fall, though most of the faculty
positions would not have been
phased out until the 1985 deadline.
" This is really a very small num-ber,"
Ms. Kernen said of plans to
eliminate six positions. The Univer-sity
has about 8,000 staff and faculty
members.
Plans to eliminate 350 positions
surfaced this spring when each de-partment
that reported to Chancellor
Barbara Uehling was given a per-centage
by which it was to reduce its
budget, Ms. Kernen said. " Then the
administrator of each would decide
how many people to eliminate by
1385."
The cuts were part of a realloca-tion
proposal unveiled by Provost
Ronald Bunn in April. Staff and fac-ulty
reductions through attrition,
coupled with program cuts detailed
in the plan, would free up as much as
$ 10 million to $ 12 million over three
years, Bunn explained. Ironically,
the bulk of the savings was to be
used to increase the salaries of staff
and faculty who survived.
The proposal created a furor on
campus, especially among programs
marked for drastic cutbacks. These
included the School of Library and
Informational Science and the Col-lege
of Public and Community Serv-ices,
which would have been elimi-nated,
and the College of Education,
the Extension Division and the
schools of Nursing and Health Re-lated
Professions, which would have
suffered major cutbacks.
The plan got a chilly response
from the curators. At their June
meeting, they announced a curator
committee would be appointed to
work with administrators and unive-rsity-
system employees on long- rang- e
planning. In the interim, they
added, no academic programs would
be eliminated.
" The departments that were tar-geted
for elimination or reduction
are not to be held in jeopardy," a cu-rator
resolution said, " but will re-main
viable programs of this Un-iversity."
Though the administration's
spring offensive sputtered, Ms. Ker-nen
said, the University had to come
up with $ 1.8 million to cover mid-year
salary increases granted to
some faculty and staff during the
1981- 8- 2 academic year. This is being
accomplished through a comparati-vely
modest reallocation effort, she
said, adding that the effort will not
require elimination of as many posi-tions
as previously anticipated.
' It means very few layoffs, if
any," Ms. Kernen said. " And these
will probably be staff positions."
Modest staff reductions, coupled
with natural attrition and efforts not
to fill existing vacancies are ex-pected
to free up the necessary
funds, she said.
The General Assembly approved
University system budget of $ 170
million for the coming academic
year, which will enable salary in-creases
averaging 8.5 percent for
University faculty, administrators
and professional staff and 9.8 per-cent
for support staff.
KOMU to leave NBC
with court's approval
By Bruce Auchly
Missourian staff writer
Effective Aug. 8, Columbia may
not have an NBC network affiliate.
That's the date KOMU- T- V ( Chan-nel
8), the current NBC affiliate, will
change its affiliation to ABC thanks
to a court order issued in Kansas
City, Mo., Wednesday.
" We will sign off on Saturdav
night, Aug. 7, as NBC," KOMU sta-tion
manager Tom Gray said
Wednesday. " On Sunday morning
we will sign on as ABC."
KCBJ- T- V ( Channel 17), now afffl--.
iated with ABC, hopes to be able to
begin broadcasting NBC programs
at the same time.
" We are in negotiations at this mo-ment,"
said Richard Koenig, KCBJ
president. " It could be a major plus
for central- Missou- ri viewers." Koe-nig
said KCBJ has the technical fa-culties
to pick up NBC's programs,
but a formal agreement has not been
hammered out.
KOMU was scheduled to drop the
NBC peacock in favor of the ABC
logo last Monday. In anticipation of
that date, announcements of the
change had been broadcast, and
weekly program listings printed.
Then two weeks ago. a court order
stopped everything while U. S. Dis-trict

Intensity of Persian Gulf war escalates
U. S. ' concerned' but stays neutral
United Press International
Iranian troops pushed 6 miles ( 9.6 kilometers) into
southern Iraq Wednesday vowing to topple the " infidel"
in Baghdad, but Iraq countered with air raids on Iran's
key ail ports in a fierce renewal of the 22- month-- old Per-sian
Gulf war.
A Baghdad communique transmitted to London said
Iraqi jets bombed Iran's major oil export terminal at
Kharg Island and repelled most of Iran's 80, CC0- ma- n at-tack
on Basra, located on the Shatt al- Ar- ab waterway se-parating
the two countries.
The communique warned international tankers to flee
the " war zone" around Iran's & terminals.
In Washington, White House deputy press secretary
Larry Speakes said the United States plans to maintain
neutrality but remains " deeply concerned" and urged
" an immediate end to hostilities and a negotiated set-tlement."
Washington fears the new clashes could endanger Mid-east
oil supplies and threaten other Arab states, includ-ing
America's largest oil supplier Saudi Arabia, with
Iran's brand of revolutionary Islamic fundamentalism.
The White House statement said the United States sup-ports
" friendly states in the region which might feel
threatened by the conflict" and " is prepared to consult
with these ates on appropriate steps to support their se-curity."
Iraqi forces inflicted " heavy casualties," leaving the
battlefield " filled with corpses of enemy soldiers," in-cluding
fee commander cf Iran's invasion forces, the
Iraqi communique said.
The invasion, code- name- d " Ramadan," began late
Tuesday.
Both sides reported hundreds of prisoners captured in
ground and air battles.
Iranian leader Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini urged
Moslems in Iraq to help overthrow of the secular rule of
President Saddam Hussein.
" You, army of Iraq ... your brothers have come to save
you and, with self- sacrifi- ce and dependence on God, will
send this infidel regime to hell," Khomeini said in a mes-sage
to Iraq's armed forces.
" You, beloved ones, rise and save yourselves and your
country with the help of Iranian brothers and do not let
your fate be decided in the United States," he said in a
message broadcast by Tehran Radio.
Tehran Radio said the Iranian army " wiped out com-pletely"
three Iraqi armored brigades, " captured tons of
tanks and personnel carriers" and shot down four Iraqi
jets in attacks on Kharg Island and the cities of Dam,
Bakhtaran and Khorrambsd.
It said hundreds of civilians were wounded and 13 chil-dren
were ' ' martyred."
Iraq said it lost only two jets in " retaliatory" raids
against Iranian " economic targets." Beside Basra, Iraq
said Iranian attacked the oil terminal at Fao.
The Iraq News Agency said Iran invaded " on a front 6
miles ( 9.6 kilometers) wide, pushing 6 miles ( 9.6 kUcme-"--
ters) inside Iraqi territory. "
It said the advance was halted at dawn and Iraq began
a " counter offensive."
A Tehran release at the U. N. said the attacks have " si-lenced
the long- rang- e artillery of Iraqi aggression."
Iraq began the war Sept. 22, 1B20, claiming total con-trol
of the Shatt al- Ar- ab waterway into the Persian- Gulf- .
It made impressive initial gains but was driven from the
Iranian port at Khoramshar and nearly all other Iranian
territory mis spring.
